This video compares two new views of the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation captured by Hubble by fading from one into the other.
First, the pillars are shown as seen in visible light, capturing the multi-coloured glow of gas clouds, wispy tendrils of dark cosmic dust, and the rust-coloured elephants’ trunks of the nebula’s famous pillars.
The video then fades into an image taken in infrared light, which penetrates much of the obscuring dust and gas and unveils a more unfamiliar view of the pillars.

This video pans over the new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation.
This image is taken in infrared light, which penetrates much of the obscuring dust and gas and unveils a more unfamiliar view of the pillars.
In this ethereal view the entire frame is peppered with bright stars and baby stars are revealed being formed within the pillars themselves. The ghostly outlines of the pillars seem much more delicate, and are silhouetted against an eerie blue haze.

This video pans over the new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation.
This image shows the pillars as seen in visible light, capturing the multi-coloured glow of gas clouds, wispy tendrils of dark cosmic dust, and the rust-coloured elephants’ trunks of the nebula’s famous pillars.
The dust and gas in the pillars is seared by the intense radiation from young stars and eroded by strong winds from massive nearby stars. With these new images comes better contrast and a clearer view for astronomers to study how the structure of the pillars is changing over time.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revisited one of its most iconic and popular images: the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation. This time Hubble has not just one image for us, but two: as well as the new visible-light image the telescope used infrared light to produce a second breathtaking picture of the region. Between them these images show the pillars in more detail than ever before. In this Hubblecast we explore the different ways in which Hubble, and other telescopes, have captured this iconic object.

Hubble has achieved an extraordinary amount in its lifetime and 2015 will mark 25 years since its launch. The year 2015 will be filled with Hubble-related activities for you to enjoy and, most importantly, get involved with. In this Hubblecast we look back at some of the ways in which you have shown your appreciation for Hubble in the past and let you in on what the Hubble 25 celebrations have to offer. More information on the 25th anniversary can be found on the dedicated web pages.

Experience the challenges of the next generation of space exploration in this brand-new Planetarium show. By using exciting real-life projects like NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and the New Horizons mission to Pluto, the show highlights the extreme nature of spacecraft engineering and the life cycle of a space mission - from design and construction to the rigors of testing, launch, and operations. Blast off and take the voyage with us!
Produced by the Charles Hayden Planetarium, Museum of Science, Boston. This show features an original orchestral score. Both 24- and 30-minute versions available. Suitable for family audiences and school groups. Includes a comprehensive educator's guide and extra educational modules that dive deeper into select topics.
Distributed by Sky-Skan, Spitz, and Sciss.

Keith Sharples talks to British rock climber Steve McClure about how he got in to climbing as a kid, his development into one of the world's top rock climbers and the publication of his new autobiography Beyond Limits.
Steve talks about some of his most famous ascents: his first ascent of Overshadow, Britain's hardest sport route; repeating Rhapsody; redpointing Ben Moon's legendary route Hubble.
